Abstract:Double lap bonded glass-epoxy composite assemblies were tested under static and cyclic shear condition loading where the static shear strength and the number of cycles to failure were measured, respectively. Araldite 2031 epoxy was the adhesive used having a glass transition temperature of 65 °C. In order to verify the influence of the thermal ageing on the adhesive behaviour, three different thermal treatments of the assemblies were adopted: one below the glass temperature (unaged) and 2 aged for 1 and 2 week… Show more
